Question 1
A coordinator for an ongoing industry-sponsored, multi-site Phase II clinical trial is taking an
unexpected, long-term medical absence. The trial site retains coordinator services from an external
source to support clinical trial activities. According to the ICH GCP Guideline, which of the following is
responsible for implementing procedures to ensure the integrity of the clinical trial-related duties??
- AOption A:
The sponsor
- BOption B:
The investigator/institution
- COption C:
The IRB/IEC
- DOption D:
The external source
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
The investigator/institution bears responsibility for site conduct, oversight of delegated tasks, and
ensuring qualified, trained staff—regardless of employment source. Exact extracts:
ICH E6(R2) 4.1.1: “The investigator should be qualified… and have adequate resources to properly
conduct the trial.”
ICH E6(R2) 4.1.5: “The investigator should ensure that all persons assisting with the trial are
adequately informed about the protocol, the investigational product(s), and their trial-related duties
and functions.”
ICH E6(R2) 4.2.5: “The investigator may delegate… but retains responsibility for the conduct of the
trial at the site.”
Therefore, the investigator/institution (B) must implement procedures and oversight to maintain
integrity of trial duties.
Reference:
ICH E6(R2) Good Clinical Practice, §4.1.1; §4.1.5; §4.2.5 (Investigator responsibilities; delegation and
oversight).
Question 2
During an internal compliance review, the site study team identified that a protocol-required blood
sample collection was not obtained for a majority of the subjects enrolled. In accordance with the
ICH GCP Guideline, the clinical investigator should:
- AOption A:
Suspend all trial-related activities until the events of the deviation have been mitigated
- BOption B:
Document and explain the deviation from the protocol
- COption C:
Assign another investigator to perform sample collections until an internal investigation is completed
- DOption D:
Immediately report the observation to the regulatory authority
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
ICH directs investigators to document and explain any deviation, with prompt reporting to IRB/IEC
only when deviations are implemented to eliminate immediate hazards or as required. Exact
extracts:
ICH E6(R2) 4.5.3: “The investigator should document and explain any deviation from the approved
protocol.”
ICH E6(R2) 3.3.7 & 4.5.2 (paraphrased): deviations to eliminate immediate hazards must be reported
as soon as possible.
Here, absent immediate hazard, the required action is documentation and explanation (B).
Reference:
ICH E6(R2) Good Clinical Practice, §4.5.3 (Compliance with protocol; deviations).
ICH E6(R2) §3.3.7; §4.5.2 (Reporting deviations implemented to eliminate immediate hazards).
